Translate A Vague Feeling Into A Specific Need
Feeling off without knowing why leaves you unable to do anything useful about it, which usually just adds frustration to the original mood. This asks a few clarifying questions, narrows the vague feeling down to a specific unmet need, and turns that into one small action for today. Suits anyone who has said I am just tired without checking whether that is actually true.
<context>

**Translate the vague feeling into a specific need:**
1. Ask two or three clarifying questions to narrow down what is actually going on (physical, social, work-related, or something else)
2. Based on the answers, name the most likely underlying need not currently being met
3. Translate that need into one concrete, achievable action for today
4. Note if the feeling seems to need more than a quick fix, and say so plainly
</task>
<output_format>
